The Nigeria Security and Civil Defence Corps (NSCDC) has disclosed that a 22-year-old man, Shuaib Idris, committed suicide in Gwanara, Baruten local government area of Kwara state, over his inability to have sexual intercourse with women.
This was contained in a press statement signed by the command’s Spokesman, Mr Babawale Afolabi, and made available to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) in Ilorin on Friday.
The statement indicated that the entire Ankara Wooro compound in Gwanara was thrown into mourning mood on October 28, as the lifeless body of Idris, an NCE holder, was discovered dangling on a cashew tree.
It read in part, “On October 28, the NSCDC District Office Gwanara received a report about one Shuaib Idris, 22, who allegedly committed suicide in a farm, citing his inability to copulate with women.
“According to the deceased’s father, Malam Muhammad Idris, his son graduated from Muydeen College of Education (Gwanara Campus), Kwara. He said the deceased had made several attempts in the past to end his life before the unfortunate incident.
“On that fateful day, Idris left home very early, but told his father that he wanted to go for farming as usual, not knowing his suicide motive. He said the deceased hanged himself inside his father’s farm, located at Gwanara- Munduro Road, with the aid of a rope and one jerry can.”
It indicated further that the body was removed from the tree and taken to the hospital for autopsy, while further investigations continued.
